If inforoo mods are going to bonnaroo as press/media, why don't we get any media? Take some pictures, write an article, justify your free ticket. This site needs content anyway

Every mod I have ever seen with a press pass has a private site and religiously does the artist interviews and then writes about it. Also a lot of the time the interviews get posted on here but it is the off season and nobody reads them.

Really, I don't think so? I believe inforoo got two press passes this year and ITM and Gibran got them. ITM has Frankie's Gun but I don't believe any Roo stuff was posted on there.

What's this relationship you speak of?I've been coming to this board since 2008, and haven't seen Bonnaroo do anything for the board, lol.

Did I miss news of a ticket giveaway or something? (seriously, did I?)

If you mean having their PR team ("Gary") come on here to give hints about clues, you are foolish to think that is them doing us a favour. It is them doing an excellent job of driving the marketing train.

Not trying to sound like an ass, but honestly, would could Bonnaroo do that would effect the board negatively? I really want to know, as I cannot think of anything.

A couple of the bigwigs from ACE went to the Moogfest brunch and teased some stuff and blow up Phi's ego to where he now thinks he is the second coming of insider.

We got press passes for Inforoo only. I'm pretty sure that everyone picking up a press pass was also getting a wristband to enter the festival (as someone disputed). Maybe there are different types of press passes but I remember thinking that it wasn't anything special that Inforoo was getting entry to the fest and others weren't.

ITM and I rode in and camped together, and I promise you he did interviews all weekend. I have no idea about Gibran, but I only saw him for two seconds the whole time.

Getting a press pass isn't hard at all... My friend Reuben runs a blog and has gotten a press pass every year for the last 4 years. He interviews the smaller solar stage bands in the early afternoon then just does his thing with the rest of us.

Okay people... Let's stop harassing the moderators and getting all upset. They run this board; they say what happens here. So let's just respect the fact that they respect Bonnaroo enough to stop emailing booking agents. I'm sure Bonnaroo's annoyance came from the Facebook post, likely not from booking agents. But sometimes things happen that have overarching reactions, so let's settle down, shut down the emails for now, and get excited for the lineup in a few short weeks... No?

As cool as Sasha made this thread yesterday it took a drastic decline in positive information towards confirmations...

Haha yeah there'll be way less info coming in from now on and in future years. It is what it is. I should've held onto all my emails for a few days and posted it all in one insane listing haha. I think Bonnaroo might've sent out an email to agents/managers about us because my response rate completely died from yesterday afternoon to now.

Mods, is it okay if I post denials I've gotten from emails I sent out before the mandate came down? I understand if ya don't want them in here so just let me know either way.

press passes dont include a free ticket. the press pass is something you can apply for, but you still need to have a ticket to get in to the fest.

Actually they usually do come with a ticket

the people i know who have gotten them in the past have either had to buy their own ticket, or the publication they worked for(a few news papers here in the area) bought the ticket for them. but they still had to have a ticket purchased, it wasnt part of the press pass application. but like ITM said, maybe there are different levels of press passes.
